You should hear USC's radio announcers...they make Dan Fouts sound like Brit Hume (to use your Rather analogy).
A field goal? O---kay...the Horns better find some defense right now, or it ends here.
Pete Arbograst?
Yes, more than a little biased.
Thought I heard that four Texas defenser had IVs during halftime. If so, I don't think they can stop SC. Conditioning will be the main factor the rest of the way.
